PARASOLS IN VARIED STYLES

May Be Practical or Made of the Filmiest of Fabrics, Just as the Owner May Prefer.

Although practical parasols will still be made of taffeta, filmy fabrics like chiffon lace and tulle will be preferred for decorative effects. Those of gay fabrics and colorings will be made without lace or net covering, but veiled, printed satins and silks which harmonize with so many frocks will be popular.' Stripes will be very much used, black and white framed with a wide, black border, as well as pin stripes with tiny bouquets of prim flowers flung In between. A white silk parasol veiled with black chiffon has a ruching of white and black chiffon on the edge. Another model of this kind is made of embroidered taffeta applied In points over a deep border of white chiffon. A model of emerald-green silk turns up abruptly all around the edge. A garden party parasol has a center of ecru crepe figured with fruit and flowers, terminating with a wide ruffle of lace. The gayly ruffled empire parasol sets out like the skirts of a belle of 1860. A palm-shaped parasol of white silk Is shirred so that the fullness spreads out between the ribs like a palm leaf. It is edged with black silk. A sunshade shaped exactly like a lampshade is made of white chiffon, lace-trimmed, and edged with crochet balls and black velvet. , Also on the lampshade order is a parasol of gray chiffon, ruched and shirred on its flat top, encircled around the edge with three bands of black chiffon. ‘
